Breno Lopes goes to Palmeiras’ organized court and apologizes

The tense atmosphere between Breno Lopes and the fans of Palm trees appears to have ended. After celebrating the winning goal against Goiás in the Brasileirão by swearing and making obscene gestures to the fans at Allianz Parque, the attacker was on the court of the São Paulo team’s main club and recorded a video apologizing for what happened last Friday (15) .

“Speak up, Palmeiras fan. I came here on the Mancha court to apologize to everyone who felt offended by my gesture in the game against Goiás. I have always defended and honored the colors of Palmeiras, I have never considered myself superior to the entity. My sincere forgiveness. It was a very turbulent week after the classic against Corinthians. I was emotionally shaken and ended up making a very wrong decision. I am completely sorry and I ask for a vote of confidence. This will never happen again”, explained the player alongside members of the organization .

The difficult week after the classic is also due to the fact that Breno Lopes missed the game’s big chance in Itaquera. In stoppage time of the second half, the attacker completed a cross inside the small area and saw Cássio make a great save. The player’s mistake made part of the fans angry with the athlete. Furthermore, before the goal on Saturday, Breno missed two goal chances and ended up exploding in celebration.

When leaving the field, Weverton, who is one of the leaders of the Palmeiras squad, already came to the defense of his teammate and tried to overcome the situation with the fans. For the goalkeeper, the striker’s effusive celebration was an “outburst”, and not an attack on the fans present at Allianz for booing or criticizing. “Not only Breno, but all the players have a lot of respect for the fans. We have an incredible partnership. Breno celebrated, he let off steam, but you can never talk about disrespect”, said the goalkeeper.

Coach Abel Ferreira tried to make clear the importance of Breno Lopes’ achievement with the Palmeiras shirt. Analyzing Friday’s match, the coach valued the fact that the team’s winning goal was scored by the player.

“The most important thing is the support of our fans. He scored the winning goal, that’s what we needed. He’s not a player who has performed as much as he wanted, but he has his name in the club’s history. I trust him, I like him and he has a goal “, added the Portuguese.

Over the weekend, president Leila Pereira, who does not have a good relationship with the organized fans and is constantly criticized for the way she manages the team, used social media to show her support for Breno Lopes and acknowledged an “eternal gratitude ” due to the fact that the player scored the goal of the 2020 Libertadores title.

“Palmeiras Champion of the Libertadores 2020!! This image will forever be in our memory and in our hearts!! Eternal Gratitude and Unconditional Support!! Avanti Palestra!!”, published Leila.
